AnnaLena Vancouver Reviews
Simply amazing meal.
Truly spectacular meal. Highly innovative food with fantastic service. Every bite was unique and memorable. If you have the opportunity to visit do not miss it.
We had a very very long travel day and were honestly so
We had a very very long travel day and were honestly so exhausted when we arrived we had zero interest in a tasting menu. We were also starving. We had very low expectations which were beyond exceeded! I am so happy to share I had such a great experience dining at AnnaLena. As a vegetarian who enjoys fine dining, it is so rare to come by an establishment which knows how to not only make vegetables taste out of this world, but to leave you feeling perfectly full. I completely felt that after leaving this restaurant after enjoying the tasting menu! There were 10 courses and they were all absolutely spectacular as was the service. Everything was amazing! I highly recommend and wish I lived in Vancouver just so I could enjoy this restaurant again!

Came here with my family to celebrate my 50th birthday and I was blown away by the food and top notch service. The food is definitely delicious and unique but hell the quantities are so teeny weeny tiny. I wish I could have just a but more of each course and I would be very happy! Regardless of the size, food is very tasty and I love the service.... Simple don't want to talk attitude but will get whatever you need. To be honest it is very overpriced but because it was my 50th birthday I deserve the best. I probably will never be back unless it was a special occasion but this is one special meal I will remember forever and ever. All the courses were so good and my favourite is the bread and the wagyu but I devoured it all.... Drinks were good too.... Love!!!! Great ambiance and not loud .
This is the best restaurant in Vancouver in my opinion.
We've tried every top restaurant we could but this one wins for the most interesting and incredible food, amazing ambiance which isn't stuffy despite it being fine dining, and unparalleled service. You need to try this spot if you haven't and actually care about good food.
Fantastic night at AnnaLena
Everything was immense. The food was insanely good, and presented in fun and beautiful ways, with the wine pairing just elevating it. The combinations are so delicious and cleverly matched. We were looked after really well by Nicole and the rest of the team, who were all really knowledgeable, explaining the food and the wine, and making awesome recommendations for post-meal drinks.
Fantastic
Michelin deserved restaurant. Such a great multi-course set menu meal we enjoyed eqch time we come. Excellent service where you felt well taken care of thorought the evening.

A couple weeks back a group of friends and I had the opportunity to try Anna Lena and I have to be honest I was underwhelmed. While I understand the experience at a restaurant of this reputation will come with caveats our party walked away feeling very disappointed. The restaurant put a lot of effort into presentation and I respect their creativity but nearly every course they put out tasted average. While the servers artfully described each special course, one after another they continued to miss the target. We were polite but simply did not enjoy what made it to the table. And by the end of evening to make the experience worse was we could feel the lackluster care of the staff in addressing what was a visibly unpleasant dining experience. It seemed that they neither cared or were interested. I would have expected some interest in making our experience in the end more palatable but it seemed they lacked the interest. A for effort but a D for execution. No offence to what they were trying to achieve, but for the substantial meal price, we have had better elsewhere.
Holy Hell!! If you love anyone in your life , even if it's
Holy Hell!! If you love anyone in your life , even if it's just yourself. You have to go here. The food is exquisite. The Drink Devine. The service is unprecedented. Top notch in every way. When you look around the restaurant you will notice little flares of fun and love. Splurge & enjoy. You won't want to leave!
Wasn't the best service we came twice I was expecting more
Wasn't the best service we came twice I was expecting more from here. but the food was good.
Absolutely stunning dishes.
Everything from the initial welcome to the final dish was perfectly timed and executed. The kitchen did things with food that we didn't know were possible. My mind still reeks over the most delicious torn bread that was an ethereal cloud of delicious savory. We're food nerds and former chefs yet this texture is still beyond us after contemplating for a month. The lighting music and vibe transported us to our favorite haunts throughout various nations. It was perfect.
ABSOLUTE LOVE.
I actually didn't know very much about this place at all until I surprised my gf with a trip to Vancouver and she made sure we could dine here at Annalena. Now that they are 1-Michelin star, I think it's a bit hard for ressies to come by! Right away just the vibe of the restaurant was soothing. Dark interiors, bold walls, funky decor. You know you're in for a swank experience. I didn't really know what the style of food was, but the drinks were funky and delicious, the flavors on each dish was pretty much explosive & cohesive at the same time, and the entire meal was excellent. I particularly love their idea of engaging with your food in cleaner ways because we definitely feel more feasty when we pick food up, so a lot of creative ways to eat as well. Definitely recommend it!
Managed to snag a reservation at the now 1-starred Michelin
Managed to snag a reservation at the now 1-starred Michelin eatery and take a friend who was visiting and another who was new to town. I still think that out of Vancouver's Michelin list, Annalena is a place that deserves to be on there. The last time I was at AnnaLena was when I was about to graduate from high school in 2016, when they still did a la carte and I got the sablefish, but the food quality is just as I remember it. The food portion wise was slightly smaller now that it's become a prix fixe set menu, but my party left feeling full from all the course offerings and the richness of the food. These are photos of their "Chapter 65" offering that goes until September 24th, before they move onto Chapter 66 and a whole new set menu. My favorite was the surprise curry puff amuse bouche and my friends liked the truffle noodle + the torn bread (SO FLUFFY and intrinsically flavorful; you should save some to soak up the soups and sauces of the other dishes) We were a little taken by surprise that the A5 Wagyu "skewers" we got as an add on were just one cube, and came in between courses. But to be expected I guess since it's wagyu and the good thing was that the melt-in-your-mouth taste and quality were definitely there.

Ate here recently and was not impressed by the majority of the dishes. Overrated in my opinion
We need 6 stars.
Tonight was next level cuisine and service. The current tasting menu is goosebump worthy. Every bite takes you on a culinary magic carpet ride. We had a special night to celebrate (birthday went next level!) and Natasha and Rev set the table for it to be among the most memorable...ever.
Excellent meal!
We ate at AnnaLena on the first evening of a 2.5 week Canadian road trip, and it was without a doubt our favourite meal! I'm still thinking about the alkaline noodles and cherry dessert today!
Great food and service
We were lucky to get a last minute reservation when visiting Vancouver and it was worth every penny! The pacing of the dishes was good, the food was delicious and the atmosphere was really good and relaxed. Would go back if ever in town!
It didn't match the hype.
Our expectations were high after hearing and reading about the reviews and Canadian rankings of this restaurant. Unfortunately we were rather disappointed with menu. Usually in a high end restaurant, the tasting menu should be varied and "tell a story". Ours was consistently heavy with an over reliance on sauces. A lighter course to balance things out would have been appreciated. While not typical nowadays, perhaps even a palate cleanser before the 4th main course. The desert was equally heavy and sweet. Frankly it should have come with a shot of insulin. It was unimaginative and appeared like it was not made fresh but could have been prepared earlier and left in the fridge/freezer. The wine pours were barely acceptable and for the price should have been slightly larger. Our server was "ok" but not as professional as would have liked again given the standards that Anna Lena purports. We asked for a glass of water at the end of the meal (largely due to the sweetness of the desert) and she forgot. We had to ask her again. Overall, a definite 2 to 3 star meal for a 6 star price.
Excellent food and service!
I just realized I submitted a review in 2017, and my review remains the same. Food is excellent, service very efficient, both pre and post one star Michelin. Special mention of Esme, our server, and Reverie, who attended to us in the most pleasant way. We left the restaurant feeling "just right" -- fully satisfied with the drinks and the tasting menu. Tasting menus in other restaurants tend to leave me begging the server to stop the food from coming. But at Anna Lena, it was perfect.
Wow wow wow!!
What a fabulous find. Service was friendly, relaxed but so efficient. Perfect combination. Food was stunning. Save room for the torn bread as prob the best bread I have ever tried. Also quite possibly best dessert. I can't have cows dairy and they accommodated the dishes to my needs. Will definitely go back when return to Vancouver. And make sure you finish your night with an espresso martini as with everything else, it was amazing
So very mixed!
Firstly, no question the food is wonderful and the service superb. Each course was met by all four of us at table with pleasure. But have to say the loud volume and vibration of the rap music that made conversation difficult made it clear this isn't going to be the celebration restaurant I'd hoped it would be. I need to be able to hear my people's conversation and not have loud music overtake it - no matter how good the food and service is. Would love to hear this practice has changed so I can return and make my taste buds sing again!

Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to AnnaLena Vancouver at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the AnnaLena Vancouver page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* BraveCloth47, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* BraveCloth47 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to BraveCloth47 for any questions Peter may have as BraveCloth47 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* BraveCloth47 now uses their connections at AnnaLena Vancouver to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If BraveCloth47 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, BraveCloth47 receives the $200 reward which is credited to BraveCloth47's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at AnnaLena Vancouver!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
